Ban on gay characters in movies and tv shows? Are you telling me that those guys in my BL dramas are just friends?
Yeah, China is behind America on gay rights. They also don’t have a mass movement of evangelical Christians trying to eliminate gay and transgender people. Boomer brain worms seem like a much easier obstacle.
It’s important to note that when it comes to LGBT issues, China is getting better.
How is America progressing on that front?
The lack of evidence is just evidence of how totalitarian the Chinese are.
I thought the game did a pretty good job of showing cops as a gang just like any other in Night City. Of the two cops you work with, one has a questline about the cops being shitty and negligent, and the other is a just fixer who sends you off to do illegal shit like all the other fixers, independent of the police.
Also the cyberpsycho missions were fun, what with the trying to nonlethally arrest super-powered mentally ill criminals to get them help before the NCPD comes in to straight up murder them.
Wish I could see the reasoning behind some of these targets. My state is looking kinda wacky and I’m seeing dots in places I can’t imagine there is anything worth bombing.
Got some tourist towns, and someone really really hates the river.
It was a real strength of the show that even characters who were primarily comic relief (like Badger and Skinny Pete) had levels of depth and realism to them. If Walt jr was portrayed as anything other than an ordinary teenager with a physical disability, it would feel very incongruent with the rest of the series.
I owe this show a rewatch.
Undermining American hegemony by…destabilizing a region that America benefits from being unstable? Not really the same situation. Russia is actually doing real harm to our ability to maintain a global stranglehold. That is a good thing, even if Putin is otherwise a shitty reactionary capitalist.
Fighting against imperialism is actually just imperialism, if your intentions aren’t pure.
Let’s get these doctors some borders or whatever.
Okay, but did anyone call them “duties” when you were a kid? The school people who oversaw recess were the duties, and if you got in trouble, you’d get sent to The Wall. Then the other kids would play Wall Ball at that wall and you’d have to dodge the ball for your own safety.
I tell my friends this, and none of them had this experience. They don’t know what “duties” are, they don’t know wall ball or associate it with punishment. Was this only my childhood?
I got an office job a couple months ago, after years working in some pretty intense homeless shelters. Now I get paid more and 90% of my job is sitting alone in my office with zero supervision, reading and playing games on my phone. I just had a check-in with my boss where she kept telling me how amazing I’m doing at this. I tell her that I I’m spending most of my time just sitting on my ass, and she tells me that’s normal and okay with this company.
It pays the bills but I really feel like I’m defrauding someone and I was definitely doing more meaningful work before. My bf says I should stop worrying and keep the easy job but it also gives me anxiety. My internalized work ethic sucks sometimes.
Some day cis people will discover /tttt/, and then it’s all over.
I liked the part where the wallbreakers were like “I am your wallbreaker!” And they broke walls all over the place.
